Map Table

Note: This page pertains to Reverse Engineering of Okami.

Explanation

The game world of Okami is divided into over 100 discrete environments called "maps". Loading zones (and sometimes cutscenes) transport Ammy between maps. Each map has a unique identifier made up of 3 hex digits, often prefixed by "r" in internal strings. The leftmost digit is used to assign the map to one of 8 "stages" or groups:

• st0 - Developer/test maps
• st1 - Eastern Nippon
• st2 - Western Nippon
• st3 - Kamui
• stC - Title screens
• stD - Beta/Incomplete maps
• stE - Fishing maps
• stF - Overworld maps

Current Map ID

The map ID of the current map can generally be found in 4 locations in memory, stored as a uint_16:

• main.dll+B6B240 - Affects warped map and displayed overlay map
• main.dll+B65E74 - Affects warped map only
• main.dll+B4F0B4 - Doesn't affect warped map
• main.dll+B6B246 - Doesn't affect warped map

Using a tool like Cheat Engine, it's possible to force the game to warp Ammy to any map by manually editing the value of one of the first two addresses listed above and freezing it at the value of the desired map ID, then going through a loading zone. Alternatively, you can force the game to load the map listed at those addresses (including reloading the current map) at almost any time by setting the flag located at main.dll+B6B2AF bit 1 to 1.

Vanilla Index

Most vanilla maps (those encountered during normal gameplay) are also assigned an index, the purpose of which is unknown. The index for the current map is located at main.dll+B6B2C8 as a uint_16. The values range from 1 to 81, and are shown in the table below under the "Vanilla Index" column. Certain pairs of maps share an index (namely Kamiki Village before and after fighting Tei, and the Cursed and Healed variants of Shinshu, Agata, Taka, Ryoshima, and Kamui). The value 0 is used when exiting to the main menu via the settings menu, and the value 65535 (0xFFFF) is used when on the main menu or on any maps which aren't explicitly assigned an index. The values 70 and 76 are unused for unknown reasons.

A table which includes both the Map ID and Vanilla Index of each vanilla map is present at main.dll+7ad9b0. If you represent it as a series of 2-byte values, there are 24 columns and 87 rows. In each row, the 1st column is the map ID, while the second is the vanilla index.

Miscellaneous

• Map r007 "2005 Prototype Intro Cutscene Waka Lake" can be seen in this trailer for Okami from the 2005 Tokyo Game Show: https://archive.org/details/okami-playstation-2-tgs-2005-trailer-dvd-rip
• Normally, when on developer map r011 (Item Test Map - Items 0x80-0xFF), the game constantly displays a swirly smoke puff particle attached to the camera, covering a large part of the screen. This can be hidden by setting a flag located at main.dll+B6B2AB bit 3 to 1. This flag in general also hides the display of NPC portraits over their heads. It's unknown if any other flags affect this particle.
